The only thing I might like better than Brussels sprouts roasted to a crisp are thinly sliced raw Brussels sprouts dressed with a bright vinaigrette and toasted nuts. This salad takes a little more time to make than the usual shaved sprouts salad, but the extra work is worth the flavor and texture combination of brown butter vinaigrette, Brussels sprouts, apple, and hazelnuts. And unlike most salads, it tastes even better the day after it’s made.

Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Skillet

(Image credit: Joe Lingeman/The Kitchn)

So you bought a pound of ground beef when it was on sale last week because you were finally going to make that Philly cheesesteak pasta skillet. But the week got away from you and now you’ve got to act fast before this perfectly lovely mix of 85/15 ground chuck goes bad. What are you to do? Freeze it, right? Yes, but there’s one little thing you’ve got to do first that’s going to make all the difference when it comes time to use it.

As much as you try to declutter, you still need to stock a certain amount of stuff in your kitchen — flour, pasta, beans, cereal, and sugar, for example — to actually make it useful. So even tiny kitchens need pantries.

What to do if you don’t have the walk-in pantry of your dreams? Here are a few ways to squeeze something in.

The chances you and your loved ones will ever face a mass shooting are rare. Nevertheless, the heartbreaking news that a lone gunman killed at least 50 people by opening fire with a semi-automatic weapon at a country music festival in Las Vegas is a reminder that we live in very uncertain times. Increasingly, people […]

There are some things I never did before I became a mom, and one of them is pumpkin picking. (Or really any fruit picking, for that matter.) It just wasn’t something we did when I was growing up, but now I look forward to it every year because my kids love it so much. My 4-year-old has been asking to go for the last six months. It’s that much of an occasion for him.

Just like any activity with children, pumpkin picking can be stressful if you don’t plan ahead. And there’s one major key to our plan, which I learned from making the visit a few years in a row now: There is a best time to go.

Keep reading to find out when that is.

Once December 1 arrives, it’s agonizing to wait the 24 days until Christmas. Those little chocolate advent calendars did the trick when we were kids, but boozy Christmas countdowns are making the month a lot more tolerable for us now that we’re grown-ups.

Last season we celebrated with beer advent calendars and “ginvent” calendars, earlier this month Aldi released a wine advent calendar, and now there’s one filled with everyone’s favorite winter spirit: whiskey.

Dorie Greenspan bakes in three different kitchens (in New York, Paris, and Connecticut). She has a stand mixer in each, but the five-quart KitchenAid stand mixer in her New York kitchen has a special place in her heart. Purchased almost 40 years ago, it was an incredible splurge at the time, Dorie says. At a few hundred bucks, it’s still a major expense for many of us these days, too. If you can swing it, though, Dorie calls it a very wise investment.

Trips to IKEA can be a wannabe designer’s dream — Ohhh, look at that sleek island and those immaculate chalkboard cabinets! — but getting home with the goods can be a nightmare. The company’s instruction manuals for putting together its affordable, pack-flat furniture is infamously complicated. There are no written instructions — just an anger-inducing cartoon man with a tiny hammer.

But the Swedish brand is about to change all of that with its recent acquisition of TaskRabbit, the on-demand service that completes your to-do list. This means you may never again have to struggle to read awkward instructions, worry about losing tiny screws, or make a mess of your living room while trying to assemble dining room tables, bookcases, and more.
